The technique and system of heavy hydrocarbon in a kind of Deep Cooling Method separating natural gas
Technical field
The present invention relates to liquefied natural gas (LNG) production field, the technique of heavy hydrocarbon in more particularly to a kind of Deep Cooling Method separating natural gas
And system.
Background technology
In liquefied natural gas field, heavy hydrocarbon typically refers to C5 and above hydro carbons.Because these hydro carbons freezing points are of a relatively high,
If heavy hydrocarbon is not pre-separated out, there will be heavy hydrocarbon during natural gas deep cooling and freeze and the risk of occluding device.For
Ensure the normal work of natural gas liquefaction system, it is necessary to take measures heavy hydrocarbon therein to be taken off before natural gas enters deep cooling workshop section
Remove.
At present, the method for natural qi exhaustion heavy hydrocarbon has solid absorption method, solvent absorption, condensation separation method and membrane separation process.
Solid absorption method utilizes the solid absorbent with loose structure to enable hydrocarbon gas to the difference of hydrocarbon component adsorption capacity
The method of separation, this method flow is simple, and with certain selectivity, but this method is not suitable for heavy hydrocarbons content height and processing
The big operating mode of amount, the especially operating mode containing neopentane.And adsorbent need to be regularly replaced, is consumed energy during regeneration high.Solvent absorption
Method process program strong adaptability, is not limited the heavy hydrocarbons content in natural gas, but this method flow is complicated, absorbent regeneration
When also consume big energy, the heavy hydrocarbon being removed will also enter follow-up dethanizer to reclaim lighter hydrocarbons, it is impossible to adapt to source of the gas group
Divide the situation of rapid fluctuations.Membrane separation process many non-porous matter for dissolving diffusion mechanism using utilizing in the separation of natural gas lighter hydrocarbons
Film, gas membrane Seperation Technology has the advantages that technique is simple and convenient to operate, repairs easy and plant investment and save, the party of making amends for one's faults
Division A League Matches of French Football alkane loss late is too high, up to 30%~40%, is that liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant can not receive.Condensation separation method is also known as low temperature essence
